Presented by Infosec Institute
AI Cyber Readiness Summit
AI is reshaping how organizations build, defend and govern technology. Security leaders don’t need a perfect AI strategy before they act — they need a practical way to understand AI-driven cyber risk, prioritize team capabilities and skillfully prepare their people for what comes next.
Join Infosec Institute for a half-day virtual summit built for security leaders and AI security champions tasked with developing and strengthening AI-capable cyber teams.
August 26, 2026 | 11 a.m.–3 p.m. Central | Live virtual event
